I have not been updating this thread regularly like my other threads, but I have been working on my soft parts. Here are some things that I have worked on:
* Taken in the flight suit. I have taken in about 2 inches on the arms and legs to give them a tighter fit. I hope to have some pictures of that next weekend. Here are a couple of pics to show how the suit was baggy before. I will also be weathering the flight suit.
* Cape: I have completely weathered the cape.
* Gloves: I bought some new gloves. The ones I had originally were workout gloves that were open on the back. The armor plate I had for that was too big and kept covering up the bottom of my gauntlet

*Kama: You can also see in the pics above I am adding a Kama. I am in the process of weathering it as well.
Update: Kama and flight suit weathered:
Kama (Outside): I frayed the edges. Made a few burn spots. I made a rip and discolored the edges of the slit. I also hit it with some silver spray paint and a little black wash in spots. The crease in it is from being folded up in a box.
Kama Inside: I dirtied it up and hit it with some silver spray paint.
Flight Suit: On the flight suit, I have altered the arms and legs, taking in 2 inches for a closer fit. I have also frayed seams, cut some holes and slits, made burn marks, and hit it with some silver spray paint. It is much more distressed now. Also, there area couple of spots where the paint was heavier than I wanted, but those spots should be covered by either armor or other soft parts.

Update 08/15: I have also purchased an ammo belt. I was not very happy with the ammo pouches and belt I had made. The pouches did not stay on well and it rode up and down a bit. I found this belt on Amazon. It is all canvas with single button closures. Here are before and after pictures (before and after weathering).
Before:
After: I weathered with a metal file, fraying the edges and "sanding" down the fronts and edges.
